What is the most suprising upset in the history of boxing?

[Zaroku]

That Tyson loss got me in real hot water. I lost a bit of coinage.

I was so surprised when I was watching as James Toney knocked out Michael Nunn. Nunn was the most skilled fighter at the time and quite honestly, was far more skilled than James.

Part of the surprise was that I had fought on the same team as James just a few years before that fight as amatuers. James showed nothing at the time where you would deem him a future champion. He showed us though that he was.

Rockin'

You are out of your mind if you think Nunn was more skilled than Toney.

Than why was Nunn heavily favored, by the books, on the night of the fight.

James didn't excel until after that fight.

WTF was James Toney before that fight?

You're the crazy one.

James Toney was still James Toney. An excellent counter puncher with top notch defense and some serious pop in his left hook and an iron chin.

He was more or less that his entire career except for his discipline, weight and increasing reliance on the counter right as time passed. Nunn was a way bigger name having just come of overwhelming Donald Curry. But having a bigger name does not = having better skills.
